A list about books? Isn't this supposed to be a blog devoted entirely to the various encompassing aspects of cinema? Well, the answer to that question is "Why, yes of course. But that doesn't mean I can't try something a little different to spice things up." Plus, the few readers that actually visit this blog are probably getting bored by re-reading the same old medicore film reviews. I've recently rekindled my love for literature and decided to put off watching films religiously (blashpemous, I know) in favor of catching up some literature. Not to mention I seem to have burned myself out watching on average three films a day and nothing seems to interest me anymore. So, with further delay, I present to you dear reader a list of 50 pieces of literature that I plan on reading throughout the year. If you have any suggestions for me please don't hesitate to let me know what essential works I should devote my time to. This list is in no particular order and is subject to change.

Awesome idea, I've tried returning to the literature a few times, but I always fail. Don't let me be an example though. I highly recommend reading The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and La Debacle (I think the English translation is something like the Surrender) by Emile Zola.
I know exactly what you mean. With such a slow attention span and not being particular literaure savvy, I have a tendency to start and then abruptly put them down. Thanks Rouge, I'll be adding those titles to the list.
